			Yue Ying turned on her heels, and directed her gaze to the shrine. There was no trace anymore of the commotion from when Irukinuf’s Songstress, Lynn, had been given a new tentacle. The Tentacle King was back into meditating, and the 12 Apostles had returned to their posts to fulfill each of their duties. Including herself, only a few people remained at the shrine.

			The total number of pillars rising at the shrine were 72. It represented the number of upper Tentacles that served the Tentacle King Swodar Nyarmain and his master, the Tentacle God Irukinuf. The number remained fixed since a long time ago, back when Swodar was called Solomon. As for how much the number would go up were one to include the lower believers without tentacles, that was something Yue Ying didn’t know.

			She heard that those who got a role to intervene in the human society, like Rasputin, were accompanied by many lower believers, but that was something irrelevant for Yue Ying. It had been a long time since the last time she was interested about the rise and fall of the nations. When her husband Zhuge Liang, aka Kongming, died, the country he had created fell apart, and she left it all behind.<ref>The reading given for her husband is the japanese version, Shokatsu Ryou Koumei</ref>

			An eternity had passed since then, the way of life of her former friends and husband having become a myth. She had met the Tentacle King in frustration, and it had been like 2000 years since she became a believer of Irukinuf. And now she had just seen off the girl who left to make a new comrade join them.<ref>I’m using “eternity” because it seems to say “like tens of thousands years, like a billion years”, so I guess it’s metaphorically... plus they give the correct, approximate number later</ref>

			By fusing themselves with Irukinuf’s body cells, the believers could acquire various abilities. Their life was greatly extended, and no matter how much time passed, they showed no signs of aging. There were a lot of people that had lived for a several thousand years, like herself, Leonidas, and the oldest from the Tentacle Group, Rama.

			But if it was just to follow a life with no purpose, Yue Ying would have rotten away long ago, as others did. During these several thousand years, as one would expect, there had been many who died because they couldn’t withstand the enormous power Irukinuf had given them, as well as those believers who had lost sight of their purpose and perished. In that sense, she thanked the Tentacle King for giving her a purpose.

			The purpose the Tentacle King had given her was to analyze the transfer device called the Gate. Being able as she was to have a glimpse of near endless parallel words through the Gate, there was no place for boredom. Still, the annoying part was that Yue Ying could merely look at it, she couldn’t cross over to the Gate’s parallel worlds. Her seventh tentacle, broken off in the middle, and the mere root remaining from her eighth tentacle, were testaments to that.

			Even for her, who carried eight tentacles of Irukinuf and had a body close to the ultimate life form, it was impossible to cross over parallel worlds. But, there was someone who had managed to. Lewis, the mother of the “Gate Opener,” also known

	Alice complained, as her arm twisted the other way as a result. But since the clockwise inertia was still in motion, her whip tail was flung against Hikita with force. Hikita lowered his body to avoid it, pulled back his stick and, for the time being, took a suitable distance.</p><p>		“Aih!?”

			“So what’s the deal with the stick? Is it a weapon?”

			With a bit of a joyful face, despite being in the middle of a fight, Hikita raised his stick and began explaining.

			“This is what my master, Kamiizumi Ise-no-kami devised, something like a <i>shinai</i>. Four bamboos of 3 feet 2 inches are finely divided into eight, wrapped in a leather bag. It's a practice tool devised to exchange blows with all your strength while training.” <ref>See also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamiizumi_Nobutsuna. “Shinai” is a bamboo sword made for practice: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinai</ref>

			“You fight with a practice tool?”

			“I’ve used this to fight for many months and years; as I have yet to experience defeat, I fail to see the problem.”

			Alice suddenly fired the Needle Flechette at Hikita’s feet. Though it should have come as a complete surprise, Hikita turned around and avoided it this time too.

			“You are a quite stubborn girl.”

			“I know Kamiizumi Ise-no-kami. Isn’t that the Shinkage-Ryu guy? Which means, you can use Shinkage-Ryu as well?”<ref>See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinkage-ry%C5%AB</ref>

			Hikita’s face immediately became sad for some reason.

			Never one to know when to quit, Alice fired the Aeshma, targeting the point he had dodged previously with the Angra Mainyu. Hikita dodged the Angra Mainyu, and repelling the Aeshma’s
